The Compauy advertise extensively that they will give to all purchasers of a family right for making thar “ Improved Washing Compound,” helf a dozen double. plated tenspoons and an elegantly-ornamented butter-knife, worth 85. The price of the family right being only &1, and there befng a good de- mand for spoons, the teade may or may not ba profitable. Yesterday a reporter climbed the stairs and ontered the Merrlll office. “Ihere he found Mr. R.

M. WESTON. When the Hank of Eogland resumed pay- meat in gold in 1831, the chauge which followed in the market retations of the precious metals was ascribdd on oll handsto a yise in gold. No- body thought of saying then that silver had fallen. Encland was not throwing silver on the markets, but was drawlog gold largely from the markets to take the place of suspended bank- notes. Tho world was surprised, not becapse gold ross under the creunsian it rose go little. Thus Humboldi 3 & in Englaud, in tho ten, years froia 1617 to 1697, more than 1,204,000 niarks of gold (8180,- 959,000) weio cosverted {oto moucy, and yob this only ralesd the proportfon of fu to rilver from 110 14.97 to 1 to i6,60." ‘The recent movement of (iermany I8 very often deseribed In o cgreler s wag ns ‘conslstin wierely of the dlsposal of aln quantities o Hiver. As the rhanye in the metallv: money of tiermony was from eltver to gold, the purchases of the latter metal must necesenrily have equaied the sales of the former. In fact, they weremuch grenter, heeauee, simultancotaly with the chanre In its metallle money, ticrmany suphrersed bank notes below the denomination of 100 marks (about £25) to the smonunt of $180,000,000. In earrying torward hoth these changes at once, Germany has bought very much tare gold than 1t has solil of silver, and the tendency of the whole transaction taken together has lieen more to raise gfold than to depress silyer, The Alma- ach de fFutha for 1378 gives the followjne tabn- lar atalement In marks (about 25 cents) of the progress made In Germany at the dates given In retiring silver and cofuing gold: Aileer fnld retred, entned. 44,0 o 4400 Atteer Dee. a1, 187 June 40, 18 ol ver retired, the part left for gl 13 that which remaius after deducting what la used o the ucw silser substhary calnngs, Thus, 8t the last-namcid date, Bept, &, 1877, the amount of old silver retired was 00,854,000 marks, of which 411,455,300 marks bad been uscd In the gubsidiary colnage, thus leavine free for sale 405,424,600 marks, or about $124,000,000, * it at the same date the colnage of gold was rathier more than three times as mieh, and the purchases of gold must, therefore, have bew rather more than threo thnes as mucl, s Gere uiany was an oxclurive silver standard country when the operation began. 1t s undoubtedly true, however, that the drain made by Germany upon the gold markets of tho world Is conslderably Ieas than the sggre- gate amonnt of the gold plirchases of Germany, ns [ndicated by the German coinage of gold, it was currently sald that when this colnage first commenced it flowed out of Germany altnost 8 fast as it enine from the mint, Nobody sup- posca that there is to-day ncarly a8 much old »8 has been cotned, which, on the 80th of Sep- tember, amounted to §390,825,825. It cannot well bo supposed to oxceed $274,000,00, which 1a the amount of bank notes (below #25) with- drawn, added to the net amount of silver with- drawn. Some cstfmates reduce tho present ameunt of gold {n Uermany as low s 200,000+ 000, but cven at that figure it conshilcrably cx- ceeds the amount of silver which has been sold. (erman purchases and colnage of gold com- monced at unce under the decree of Bee, 4, 1871, and Bad reactied at the end of 1973 cording to tho London Keonomiat, £21,000,000, or $105,000000, whereas tho withirawai o sllver oniy began under the law of the midadle of 1873, and hna reached, even at the cend of Decemiwn 1874, only the unimportant sum of 148,841,100 marks, or 837,235,275, of which only two-thirds could have been sold, as the other third was devoted to the subeldiary colnage. Of courso, the riso or fall of_pold and silver since 1878 s to be dircctly determined in no other way than by a comparison of the gold and sllver prices of general commodities then and now, [’lnz independently of such & com- parison, o rise in gold, rather than a falt In sil- ver, would be looked “for as the conscquence of the Gcrman eurrencey operation, which with- drow much more zold from than it threw silver upon the markats of the world. ——em—— THE VETO REVIEWED. To the Edilor of The Tribuns. Cn1oAgo, March 5. —Tha Tutile and uncalled- for veto of the Bilver bill has placed the Presi- dent in the unenviable attitute before the coun- tryof making on cffort to maintain the mono- metallle system procured by clandestine leglsia- tlon in 1673, and by o forgery in the Reviscd Btatutes In 1874, A momeatous a change fu the monetary system of the Unlon was cffected without so much as a petition from the hum- blest fudividual in the nation, and without. the knowledgzo of any but a small clique of conspr ators. The President has not yentured to say that those clandestine and fraudulent acts were not done fn violatlon of the supreme law; bo has been caretul not to say thal demonctization of one of the coln atandards was constitutional. His kuowledge as o lawyer saved him from muking that mistake, The message exhibits the carmarks of hasty preparation and cx-parte constderation of the grent subject. The President’s timo s so en- grossed by technical dutles of his offlce, and his attention so occupled by callers and office- seckers, that ho has had but lttle lefsure for thoughtful {nvestigation of the question, e may have glanced, while sipping bis breakfast- coffee, at tho discussfons in Congress on the sllver queation bricfly reported in the Washing- ton papers; and while walting for dinner he has perused the stock arguimnents of the New York gald-bug prints againat remonctizing, and that has been tha probable extent of his reading, and his men.ui'u is merely a fechlo echo of thefr frandulent fallacics. Let ua glance at the poluts of the veto: After a preliminary flourlsh of friendship for sliver in the abstrict, ho procceds to exhibit hostility to it In the conerete {n this manner: It fa woll known that the market value of that number of grains of standard sfiver during the past year has been from 00 Lo 02 cente as compared with tho standard gold dotiaz, Thus the siiver dollar authorized by thia bi)l 18 worth from 8 to 10 por cont losa than it purporte to be worth, and Is made & legal-tender for debls contracted when tho law di money. At the very moment he was penning this anfmp" tno silver bulhon quotations frum London of B3% m:ncu per ounce, Imuking the dollar cqual to {4 cents, was before him, and ho could not bieip seclug that as the probubility of the passage of the remonciizing bifl increased, the valug of bLullion advanced. When the strugglo becan i Con- gress, 871y pgralus of siiver were only worth 90 cents; when tho Dland bill passed the ilousc’ the value ross to 01; when It passed the Henato silyer furtner advanced 0 ¥2; when the House sceopted the Benato amevuments silver went up to i3, and when it becuno morally certain the bill would bo passed over the veto 1t advanced to O4. Upon what authority, then, did he soy In bls message, 4 Thus the siiver dollar authorized by this bill 18 worth 8 1o 10 per cent Jess than it [\lurvur\l to bo worth™§ But how can he know that the sil- ver dotlar nuthorized by this act is worth any Less thau n xioul dollur ‘before 1t 18 cotued and l'ut iuto cireulation! Does he want the coun- ry to belleve that the importers will only offer 93 cents in greenbacks for 8 legul-tender silver doltar, while they will give 103 ceuta in green- backs for o gold “dollar! Does ho expect the anlk- 1o give credence to the nonscnse that a ull legal-tender wilver dollar will circulate at 8 per cent below preenbacks? . Fed o the atalu faliacies of the New York press, he has fallen a victhn of their shailow sopbists. 1l failed to compehond the effect of renonetization on silver either in its bullion or legal-tender form. ‘True, he had before him two years® experlence with the subldiary stlver, and could hardly haveshcloed to notice thai making it a Iegal-tender for inercly flve dollars was sutllcient Lo keep 830,000,000 1 cireulation ut 93 cents b gold, although lts bhulllon value was § per cent Icas ihan thut of the dollar colu, o hngum powerful, wo may say overwhehn- Ing, precedent of Frauce and tne Latin Unlon countries fn palpablo dispraol of his S0-cent theory, France aloue keeps between $:300,000,000 and $400,000,000 of sliver fu circulution ou a par with gold on the baals of 15§ to 1, whercas our silver dollar is 8 per cent heavler in proportion togold.

A.C, REWARD OF DEMERIT. Paying President Hayes fur His Veto, After Iannding Him On. Now ¥ork Times (Goldite), One of tho Waalington dispatches stutes that the fricnds of the Presldent are chagrined at the want of respect shown toward his veto tnes. sage by the Scnate. The Ilouse, It eecrus, is avcustumed to do rude things, and its con- temptuous indifference therefore cxcites no surprise. But the more dignlfied Benate was expected to set differentiy, It has usually treated 8 yeto with at least o pretenseof cousld- eration, always discussing it respcctfully, and deferring that proceeding until the document has been priuted, In the present Instance the Senators were as fil-mannered a8 the dema- gogues of the House, and the courticrs who flutter in the sunshine of the Exceutive Mansion arc grieved in consequence. They gmmt that the Preeident has been cruclly used y the onponents of the bill, and partlculariy by sympathizers with his Administration. The complainants forget, apparently, that those who are supposcd to oceuny the latter relation In an especial degree in either Chamber happen to bo strenuous supporters of the new law, and are themselves aggrieved by the President’s disrc- «ard for thelr wishes. Personally mortifying as the jucident must be, It will not be without compensating advsn- tages if it lead the President and that ethall aml select cirele who constitute his frienda to reflect upon the helplossness of the Admiuistra- tion a8 regards buth the course of legistatiun and the outside currents of public opinion. There have been Presidents” and Cabincts who, toward the close of the four years’ term, have found themselves deserted Gy the party that created them, aod despised by the party that had profited by their pollcy. Such u stale of things before the expiration of the first year 1s, however, unprecedented, and that must he marvelous sclf-complacency which fznores its existence or its lesson. The jolly miller of the Dee micht be happy while boastiug that he cared for nobody, and that noona cared for him, but the President cannot offord thus o confound Isotation withindependence. The old song deacribes his position nevertheless, e chooses his own path and follows it, never ’mlmmz to seek counsel, and never condescend- ug to profit by it, and tho result Is that, with threo years of service still before him, ho stands all but alone, with scarcely a soul whio cares enough about himtonak whither ha A ¢olag or what ho proposes to do. Whea he docs speak, as (o bis remonstrance agsinst the Siiver i1l his words arc unhecded. Haviog declded upon an attemnpt to conduct the business of the Presidency with proud indlfference w party, and with a sublime unconsclousuess of the value of friends, heis left to reallze the embar- rassment and bumiilation which he has brougnt upon himselfl. ‘To what extent this position is attributable to want of famillarity with practical atatesman. ship orto actual {nability to discrimivsto be- tween partisan subservieney and the proper conditjons of party allegiance, others mnav deter- mine:” The truth Is, that the President, though entering oftice with n just sense of fts responsds bilities, bhas from the flrst been unable or unwill- fngto comply with thetcrms essential to succers, He bezun as o zealous reformer nud 8 nodel conclifator, and he has peristed in trying to play both parts in spite of accumulatine proots that, *golitary and slune,” he could pot be cfertive in cither. Now and then a man appears upon the publlc stage whose genius or forve redecins such an effort from ridicule. Fresident Iayes was not cast fu this mold. The misfortune is that he Is unable to comorehend deficlencles which to otliera aro plain enough, Necding help, e refuses to accept it whien tendered di interestedly, He scems to suspect those whose party record should place them above suspicion, ‘and to reserve hia confidences fur persons notoriously unfitted to receive them, At every step, consequently, he has blundered. Enemics bave wmultiplicd while frionds have (Msappeared. The only ac- complished fact in the poiicy he marked out— the withdrawal of military authority from the Houth—has in Its attendant circumstances been #0 wotully mismanaged that it has brought him nelther strength nor glory, His Civii-Service reforws Lias been so belied in practico that it has becotne contemptible. The reform element in the Ilesubllun porty turns from the method Eunue and from §L8 results ju disgust, and the levatees of thie old svstem Iaugh at pretensions whoss frulta are s bad ns the worst of those far which apatogivs have been consldered necs sary.
